A 100-year-old manor house, currently empty of human residents, but far from silent. Its structure channels gusty winds through drainpipes, creating baritone whispers. Gaps in the roofing slates allow smaller bursts of air to enter and dissipate softly into echoing voids. A fidgety family of jackdaws inhabits one spacious attic, while bats silently occupy another. Water drips through unseen drains. A panel edged with crackled tape exhales. A vent flaps. Something, somewhere shutters.

Part 1: Sounds created by the house itself and its immediate surroundings will be live-mixed, augmented and manipulated by invited, local sound artists and creatives during a 24 hour live-stream.

Part 2: Recordings from this stream, along with sounds from the house in various weather conditions, will be available to creatives world-wide to use in the composition of new works. The submissions from this open call will be co-published as a joint digital album with three Welsh experimental music labels : Amgueddfa Llwch, Listen to the Voice of Fire, and Recordiau Prin.
